Honey Trehan's 'Punjab 95' pulled from Toronto International Film Festival line-up

Mumbai, Aug 12 (PTI) Honey Trehan's feature "Punjab '95", based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, has been removed from the world premiere line-up of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) that begins next month.

Starring Diljit Dosanjh as Kalra, the film was scheduled to premiere in the Gala Presentations section on September 11, but TIFF's website does not mention the biographical drama in its line-up any more.

UK-based publication Screen quoted a TIFF spokesperson as saying that "Punjab 65" is no longer part of the programme.
